Two girls missing from SUWS

We don't exactly hide where we come from. Johanson has not and will not be a Fornits poster unless I am replaced. He has his area to cover. His work is to research certain areas and give his work to Henrik or Kurt.
As for transporters and shackles/handcuffs. According to Mr. Transport aka Rick Strawn putting handcuffs on the teenagers is policy. In 2009 shackles were found at Reclamation Ranch and Southeastern Military Academy (Known as Victory Forge Military Academy)
Of course some transport firms has found something which functions like shackles but looks more inncocent.
Then there is the term used for the teenagers placed in programs. They are in a legal loophole. The term "Detainees" was chosen but we are starting to write "teenager" where it is possible to attract more readers. We won't use the term "student" because there are too many programs out there where the education is not accredited and the use of "student" could fake parents to believe that their children cut use whatever they claim to have taught in local school, which very often is not the case.

Its good to see that you are switching over to more mainstream and accurate language. I think it makes the wiki more credible.

Its good to hear this pair are safe and OK. I hope when they get home the families can sort whatever is up out so they don't go back. I wanted to comment on wilderness runaways. I remember one guy who was older than most of the kids. He was nearly 18 and had spent a fair bit of time over the years at schools and camps for troubled kids. I think his original issue was drugs but he kept changing schools for not following the rules or getting expelled. He was basically just marking time till he could legally leave. On a social level he was personable and easygoing, if you didnt act like an asshole to him he didnt give you any attitude. He had no learning issues so could probably handle college too. Basically he seemed like a pretty average suburban kid. One guy i worked with had a real issue with him and claimed he was a sociopath. If he was I never saw any evidence of this.
His parents had said he had to see it through till he was 18 but he did not have much hope of making it work at home for long. I never got his parents side of the story. One thing he said though was that he didnt care about having to be homeless as he had lived so rough at wilderness, he could bust his own fire, live off minimal food and do without regular hot showers etc. He was originally from some southern state where hunting is common so could kill food. So making kids live really roughly the way they do at wilderness can really backfire. Given the cost of wilderness, most kids would be from families with at least some kind of disposable income. I wouldn't think such a kid would ever seriously consider being homeless. But some do. It makes me think wilderness can backfire pretty badly.
